The Name Leyla

I decided to name this headwear Leyla for several reasons.

Firstly, it used to be my nickname when I was a child.

Secondly, the name Leyla (also Layla, Lailah, Leylah, Laila, Leila) comes from the ancient Semitic word layl, meaning “night”, so this is a name often given to babies born at night. In Persian culture, the name Layla is associated with beauty and can mean “dark-haired beauty” or “dark beauty.” Although I’m not dark-skinned, I do have very dark hair, eyes and eyebrows, so the meaning of the word somehow seemed really suitable.

Thirdly, in some interpretations of the Talmud, the Jewish holy book, Lailah is the name of an angel. What better choice can there be than picking such an epithet for any product of beauty and charm?

And finally, being a popular name for girls in both western and eastern cultures, Leyla was inspiration to many authors, poets, songwriters, to whom it often sympolized grace, elegance and eternal love of a woman carrying this powerful appellation.
